* United States Constitution
* Connecticut considers ratification
Page 2 has a report: "State of Connecticut" concerning the beginning of its convention to debate the Constitution with the text taking close to two columns, noting near the beginning: "...a full discussion & thorough investigation of it; they resolved that the constitution proposed by the late federal convention should be read and discussed by sections; but that no vote should be taken on it till the whole should be fully discussed..." followed by much more. At the end is: "...The Constitution before us is a complete system of legislative, judicial, and executive power. It was designed to supply the defects of the former system, and I believe upon a full discussion it will be found calculated to answer the purposes for which it was designed." (see for portions)
Elsewhere is a note that at the election of the American Philosophical Society, Dr. Benjamin Franklin was elected President (see).
